About Howard, SD


Howard, Opportunity Lives Here

Howard is a community of approximately 1100 people, located in the heart of eastern South Dakota. Within an hour’s drive of Sioux Falls, Brookings, Mitchell, and Huron, Howard is an ideal place to live, work, and start a business. In recent years, the community has created a bold vision for its future. This vision has led Howard to become a center in South Dakota for renewable energy, organic beef production, and rural community development. Today, Howard has a bright future, leading us to adopt the phrase “Howard, Opportunity Lives Here.” The future, however, has not always been so auspicious. Established in 1882, Howard initially grew as it became regional retail center for the flood of pioneers homesteading on farms in Miner County. As the economy of the region changed, starting in the 1920s, Howard and surrounding Miner County struggled to maintain its population. By the mid-1990s, Howard was no different than the host of small towns in South Dakota whose futures were in question.
